New Harvard-Berkeley collaboration addresses green industrial strategy 

The Green Industrial Strategy Project examines how business and government can create, scale, and compete in clean tech markets to accelerate decarbonization.
May 25, 2025

As clean technologies have entered the mass market, companies and countries have started to view decarbonization as an economic opportunity. They are pursuing strategies to compete in global clean technology markets. How do governments and companies develop strategies that enhance economic competitiveness and facilitate global decarbonization in a world of intensifying geo-economic competition?

Founded in 2025, the Green Industrial Strategy Project addresses this pressing question by supporting the theoretical, empirical, and practical study of green industrial strategy through collaborations involving scholars, practitioners, and policy makers.

Led by Gunnar Trumbull and Jonas Meckling, GISt is made possible by the collaboration between the Institute for Business in Global Society (BiGS) at Harvard Business School and the Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative (BESI) at UC Berkeley, with support from the Center for Innovation and Sustainability in Business (CISB).
